The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Lu Tianming was a little disappointed when he heard this, but it was within his expectations, so he asked:

"Manager Li, could you please help adjust the construction schedule? We are really anxious."

Seeing the two men's extraordinary demeanor, Manager Li did not refuse directly. Instead, he thought about it carefully and confirmed that there was no way to adjust it. Then he smiled bitterly and said:

"Dear guest, we are not trying to refuse, I want to take your order.

To be honest, we have three teams in our Sanqing class.

Now both teams have gone to other counties, and only one team is left working in the county.

At this moment, Mr. Teng’s house is being renovated.

But this team will take at least a month to complete the work.

Moreover, he took on two more jobs later.

Even if we can adjust the construction period by negotiating with those two companies, you will have to wait for more than a month.

I think you are anxious and may not be able to wait."

After hearing these words, Lu Tianming and the others could only sigh.

After getting up and saying goodbye, the two rushed to Chunxi Class.

After arriving there and asking about the situation in detail, I found out that although the situation of the Chunxi troupe was somewhat different from that of the Sanqing troupe, they also needed to wait.

After the spring, there were many houses being built or repaired, so both of their teams were asked to go to the neighboring county to build houses.

Because a large number of immigrants had just arrived there, a large number of houses needed to be built.

There are simply not enough local craftsmen, so we have to hire workers from all over.

According to the owner of Chunxi Troupe, it would take at least several months and at most half a year to complete the construction of that batch of houses before they could return.

Lu Tianming didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and began to wonder if there were other ways to build a house quickly.

In fact, he had prepared for the worst.

If the house cannot be built in a hurry, just build a simple thatched hut to live in.

When it can be built later, we will tear it down and rebuild it.

In this way, it only costs a little money.

In fact, they had lived in the wilderness many times when they had fled famine.

Logically speaking, it wouldn't be a big deal to live on the vacant land for a while now.

But he, Shuhe, Brother Yao's family, and several of Master Yan's apprentices will be leaving in a few days.

I don’t know how long it will take me to come back after this trip.

His parents are old, and he really can't feel at ease unless they are well taken care of.

Besides, he has thought about it these past two days.

If everyone in the team wants to settle down in Baoshan Town, they have to learn the skills of raising silkworms and reeling silk as soon as possible.

There are still many things to do next, one after another, and they are all very urgent.

But no matter how urgent it is, we have to take it slow. Before he leaves, we have to try our best to plan everything for them.

The most important thing now is to decide on building the house, and the rest will be easy.

As for rice, if you really can't do it, just hire villagers to help plant it.

It’s not like they haven’t hired workers before.

All kinds of things were running through Lu Tianming's mind, and he suddenly remembered what Xu Wenshan had mentioned before.

His ancestors all lived in this county and were very familiar with Yining County, so he planned to ask him for some advice.

The two men turned around and went to the county government office. When they reached the door, they asked someone to help call Xu Wenshan.

Xu Wenshan came out and saw the two of them, and warmly welcomed them into the lobby to sit down.

After learning about the difficulties they faced, I thought about it carefully.

His ancestors all lived in Yining County, so they knew that it was difficult to hire good craftsmen.

Lu Tianming failed to hire the two good teams he knew.

There are other craftsmen in the city, but it is hard to say how good their skills are.

He absolutely could not speak to that kind of craftsman.

After all, this house is not some other object.

If it is not built well and something goes wrong, then he will not make friends but enemies!

He pondered for a while, then suddenly realized what was going on. He slapped his thigh and said,

"Oh, I almost forgot about him.

Brother Lu, Brother Yao, please wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."

Having said that, he stood up and ran towards the county government office.

Lu Tianming and the other man waited there for about a quarter of an hour, and then they saw Xu Wenshan leading a man in official uniform out.

After the two sides introduced themselves, Lu Tianming realized that this was Lord Qi, who was in charge of engineering and construction in the workshop of the third shift and sixth room of the county government.

Lord Qi had just heard Xu Wenshan say that the two of them would work in Prince Huai's mansion in the future, and he immediately decided to make friends with them.

As for asking the Sanqing troupe to transfer a team to build the house, it was really nothing to him.

He has a very good relationship with the owner of the Sanqing Troupe!

It can even be said that the success and growing reputation of the Sanqing Troupe had a lot to do with him.

At this moment, with Xu Wenshan's help, Lord Qi was very happy to do a favor for Lu Tianming and the other man.

So when I met the two of them, I started chatting with them enthusiastically.

When I heard that they were anxious to ask the Sanqing team to build a house, I immediately said:

"Brother Lu, Brother Yao, if you are confident in this matter, leave it to me.

If it's done, I'll send someone over to deliver the letter to you!"

He said so, but in fact, to do it, it was just a matter of finding someone to tell the owner of Sanqing Troupe.

But if he wants to curry favor with this person, it won't be easy.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianming and the other man expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Lord Qi chatted with the two for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Xu Wenshan was still in office at the time, so it was not convenient for him to chat for long. He just said a few brief words to the two of them and then returned to his office.

Lu Tianming and County Magistrate Yao never expected that things would turn out like this.

Now that things have been settled, he started to head back.

When the two returned to the agreed city gate, the rest of the team was already waiting there.

Lu Tianming and Lu Shuhe inquired and learned that all the materials needed for building the house had been purchased under the guidance of Team Leader Zhao.

Seeing that it was getting late, the group quickly drove away in their carriage.

Along the way, everyone was very excited and talked about the appearance of the house that was about to be built.

When they arrived near Lunpi Town, Lu Tianming asked the others to go back first.

He drove the carriage himself and sent Master Zhao back first.

The two parties agreed to start work the day after tomorrow after all the materials arrived.

Lu Tianming returned to Baoshan Town before dark.

At this time, tents had been set up on the open ground.

When the people who stayed behind saw their families coming back, they all went up to them and asked about their situation.

When we learned that the materials had been ordered and that work was to begin the day after tomorrow, we were all delighted.

Lu Tianming only found out about it during dinner.

In the afternoon, an old man who called himself Lao Li came over and said that he was there at the request of Village Chief Wu.

Come and ask when you can teach them how to grow rice.

He was received by the old village chief at that time, and the two had a brief chat about farming.

The old village chief has been farming all his life. Although he doesn’t know how to grow rice, he still knows about the things in the fields.

After chatting for a while, he was very impressed with the man's farming ability.

From his words and actions, I felt that this person was very sincere, so I went straight to him to place an order for rice seedlings.

It will take some time from raising the seedlings to planting them. If all goes well, by the time their house is almost built, the seedlings will be almost ready too.

During this time, they can take the time to level the wasteland and accumulate manure.

By the time the house is built, the seedlings can be planted in the fields.

Lu Tianming listened and just nodded.

He knew his father very well. He had lived in the village all his life and was very concerned about crops.

It is most reassuring to leave this matter to him.

Besides, there have been a lot of things happening recently, and he also plans to let his father arrange the division of land among the families in the team.

Thinking of this, I started talking to him.

The old village chief readily agreed and planned to go surveying early tomorrow morning and divide the land before dinner.

After dinner at night, everyone was still very excited for a long time after lying down.

After fleeing famine for so long, I can finally settle down.

Each family was whispering about their future plans.

There are discussions on how to build a house.

Some people also said that they had nothing to do tomorrow, so they would go to weed their own fields after the old village chief divided the land.

Some people also said that they wanted to go to the village to see how other families raise silkworms, and so on.

Everyone gradually fell asleep amidst their beautiful fantasies of the future.

The next morning, everyone got up early and started working.

While making breakfast, I saw the two women I had seen before going up the mountain with baskets on their backs.

When passing by their team, Tian Fu Niang greeted them in a very familiar manner.

One of the two women, who looked more outgoing, responded.

Then, the two of them quickly went into the mountains carrying the backpacks.

Tianfu Niang saw that everyone had left, and she told Shi Xiu'er beside her:

"Xiu'er, let me tell you, if we want to make money by raising silkworms and reeling silk, we have to make good friends with them early on.

Please pay attention to that side for a while, and remind me when they finish picking mulberry leaves and come down the mountain.

I remember there are children at their home, so we can take some chess pieces with us and go over to have a look."

After Shi Xiu'er gave high praise to her mother-in-law's behavior, she began to prepare the chess pieces she would give away later.

Tian Fu Niang caught a glimpse of Lu Qingqing not far away, and told her that she was planning to go see how people raised silkworms, and wanted to call her to go with her.

Lu Qingqing naturally agreed.

According to her understanding, every household in Baoshan Town raises silkworms.

When their team is settled in the future, they will definitely raise silkworms.

I'll go over and take a look later, so I can get to know it in advance.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing also went to the carriage to look for snacks for the children.

Although the construction of the house has not started yet today, everyone in the team has already started to get busy.

The old village chief first led the men from each family to measure the land. After determining the size of each piece of land, he drew the lines directly.

After all the areas have been marked out, you can ask the people in the team to go over and draw lots to decide which piece of land they will get.

Lu Qingqing, Tian Funiang and several other women came to the house with gifts when the two women came back.

Lu Tianming went to Wu Lichang's house and deliberately avoided breakfast time when he went there.

When Village Chief Wu saw him coming, he roughly knew what was going on. After greeting him, he waited for Lu Tianming to speak.

Lu Tianming first thanked Old Li for coming over.

Then he talked about the bricks and tiles and other materials that had been ordered, and then asked about asking villagers to help.

Village Chief Wu sent his two sons out to inquire yesterday, and asked all the members of the Wu family.

The fields are not very busy now, so naturally the Wu family members are willing to do this kind of good thing.
